Аннотация:We present first results of a study of rotation parameters of the tornado-type promi-
nences using H-alpha line spectra and filtergrams. The prominences of the tornado-type
were observed by ground-based spectrographs MFS and HSFA 2 in the Ondrejov Ob-
servatory (Astronomical Institute of AS CR) from 2000 to 2017. The analysis took
into account the structure and dynamics of selected prominences and a comparison of
the data of H-alpha with the EUV observations of SDO (304 A, 193 A, 171 A), as well as
information about the emission of ares in the X-ray range. We found that most of the
analyzed events were associated with solar ares of classes from B5 to M5 by GOES
classification. We revealed two types of motions in the prominences. The first type
shows the Doppler velocity quasi-symmetry of the values in the "blue" and "red" H-alpha
line wings. The events of the other type demonstrate a difference of up to one order
of velocities in the direction of, and towards, the observer.
